Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRemember that David Corn co-wrote the book that "Hubris" is based on! He deserves
some attention, too. He co-wrote it with Michael Isakoff. I saw tweety interviewing both Rachel and David about this documentary and of course, he directed almost all of his questioning to Rachel. He is notorious for interrupting and downplaying David Corn. Many of you on DU have noticed and commented on it.
David also broke the "47%" story about Romney which was a real game changer in the recent election. He's a great journalist. He never really got credit for that either.
This is not meant to slam Rachel, but her name is mentioned in every thread and on-air promo when she is the narrator. I never hear anything about David or Michael, for that matter.

David has always been a solid and quality reporter...and long overdue the accolades...
Cheers...

(3,222 posts)His story breaking the 47% remarks of Romney won David the prestigious recognition. David has been a beacon for investigative journalism.
